IPAQ 614c tweaking.

These are the plugins i've managed to run on my ipaq , which were not intended to run on it:
All of them were downloaded from this forum, so many many thanks to the developers. For now i'll be providing feedback as i don't have paypal so can't donate anything else...
-Touch Flo (Manila) 2d
-Samsung Touch Wiz - with the limitations of the non WQVGA screen - cannot minimize the side bar.
-Fe Widgets - working very stable, axcept for the weather plugin - frameworks reports error. It's due to the ROM i'm using - the russian one with manila in it v1.6.
I think there won't be problems with the original hp rom.
Throttle launcher with touchflo 3d-ish interface - just installed it. Feedback later.
I'll be posting screenshots and detailed feedback later.
well. then?

Opera unveils turbo-charged browsing at Mobile World Congress 2009
Oslo, Norway and Barcelona, Spain – February 12, 2009
Just when you thought browsing couldn't get any faster, Opera unveils its latest innovation for better browsing, Opera Turbo. This all-new, turbo-charged way to surf will make its exclusive appearance at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from February 16-19, 2009.
To be available for business customers on Opera Desktop, Opera Mobile and Opera Devices SDK, Opera Turbo compresses bandwidth consumption. By processing data being sent to a mobile phone or a PC by up to 80 percent, operators will be able to reduce network traffic and save on data transmissions. This helps to extend the longevity of their mobile network investments. For device manufacturers, Opera Turbo provides a faster browsing application that can leverage device capabilities and utilize hardware resources more effectively. By leveraging Opera Turbo, operators and OEMs can provide a faster browsing experience to their end-users, independent of network constraints or hardware limitations.
Due to Opera Turbo's advanced compression technology, even devices with limited hardware capabilities show improved page download rates and better overall performance. By leveraging its experience with server-side optimization solutions such as Opera Mini, Opera Software is extending optimization to encompass other Opera browser products. Opera Turbo is able to reduce the size of the transferred page without transcoding the page. Opera Turbo offers full support for dynamic Web technologies such as Ajax and Flash - these are not compressed by Opera Turbo.
Opera Turbo supports Opera's belief in "One Web", providing equal access to the Internet regardless of the device or network quality. Opera has focused on a way to improve performance and the overall speed of its browser under any condition, whether surfing from a limited mobile phone in a remote location or with an early model desktop computer on a dial-up modem. To Opera, One Web means being able to take the one true Web and make it available to people on their own terms. Opera believes that circumstances should not dictate how its browser performs, and Opera Turbo is a way to ensure the best browsing possible anytime, anywhere.
"We are living in a time and place where access to the Web should be a universal right to all. Technology has advanced us to the point that we can very nearly access the Internet anytime and anywhere from a growing number of devices," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "As part of Opera's commitment to provide the best experience on any device, Opera has developed the Opera Turbo solution. The Mobile World Congress serves as a forum for us to educate others on the wonders of Web technology."
See it to believe it at Opera's Mobile World Congress exhibit (Hall 2, Stand 2B77). Mobile World Congress participants will also have the ability to experience Opera on a variety of devices: Opera Mobile on smartphones such as HTC HD, Samsung Omnia and Sony Ericsson Xperia, free downloads of Opera Mini, improved Web browsing on gaming consoles and the ARCHOS Generation 5 Media players will be just a few of the exciting features of Opera's 2009 exhibit.
Mobile World Congress will be held from 16th to 19th February in 2009 in Barcelona, Spain. Visit the Opera Booth in Hall 2, 2B77. For media inquiries, please contact [email protected]

New Opera 9.5 build 15894

We have a new build of Opera 9.5 : 15894.
Known issues :
- ActiveX is disabled — Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work.
- Custom software keyboards (IME) will be buggy at best, not working at worst.
- No multilingual build — Only English is supported. Problems with other languages (and input methods) are not unexpected.
- Installation on memory cards may cause problems.
- Text wraps in overview mode.
- Main testing has been done on English HTC devices (Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch, Touch Dual, Touch Cruise, TyTN and Wizard) and Samsung i900.
- Landscape mode does not take keyboard position into consideration.
- Devices with low memory might get Out Of Memory (OOM) messages.
- Opera is always running when the Widgets Manager is running.
On devices with hight DPI some of the pre-installed widgets look small.
- When an URL is opened from a widget, there will be an extra browser window opened in the background that’s not working properly.
Enjoy !!!
The cabs is for QVGA and VGA versions ! No reboot needed

Gears-enabled technical preview (Visit http://gears.google.com to download the Gears plugin for Opera Mobile)
LINKS : Mediafire RapidShare
Oke this is the update for the official beta2, to include "gears" functionality. Available from the official opera mobile site.
I tried it about a week ago, and my guess is that while it may be build 15894, it is just the beta 2 with gears functionality. That is, they did NOT create a new build from all the newest updates they made to the code.
They took the OLD code from beta2, added gears functionality, and made a new build. Of course in that case it is numbered as build 15894, but it is built actually using very old code.
Wait for a new build folks, the one that uses the most recent code Build 15592 is still the best and newest

isn't this the same build with soft keyboard problems?

I heard this build is pretty good. Sadly there is no QVGA version I can use on the Omnia.
Yes, I tried it and it's a very good build (15613)! Opera starts in about 1 second, much faster than any other builds. Apart from that, no weird bugs or limitations
Only thing is that it flips the screen orientation when it looses focus or is exited...
You can use it on qvga too, just replace it with a qvga skin. And change the zoom settings in opera:config. If you need help, ask me... but it's pretty easy and straightforward
actually the newest sprint diamond rom has opera 9.5 build 15954 in it, but I haven't seen it anywhere other than in that rom. (official Sprint Diamond ROM v2.00.651.6 CE OS 5.2.20764)
can someone bring that build on the thread please? right now I'm with build 15613 and it's working out so far but there's always updated code with better usability and stability...

Please visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502

Please feel free to share about this and hope all can contribute

HTC Leo datepicker not usable in Handbase

Hi
I use Handbase since years (Palm, Winmob). Now I have the new HTC HD2 (Leo). Date picker is not usable, because it seems too large. It shows only some days of the calendar, is not scrollable and the OK-button
can not be pressed. May be it is a scaling problem. In other
applications the HTC datepicker is normal scaled so it can be used. Is there a possibility to cheange the behaviour of the datepicker? Or is it possible to change datepicker (like iPhone style)?
Thanks for help
You will have to talk with Handbase about this as it is their code.
You have to remember that this is the first WVGA capacitive screen (with multi touch) on WM, technically WM doesn't support capactitive or multi touch - HTC did a little developing of their own. While there are some apps that were already 'touched', Resco Explorer for one, most are not and while they may work fine (and are usable) they should have their interfaces updated to take advantage of this new technology.
Hi there,
David Devaney, Jr. from DDH Software here.
We've received two reports of this problem already through our Support team. I have been testing this today to try to determine the problem. We had tested HanDBase on WM 6.5 before any devices were released and didn't encounter any usability problems. I double checked today that it would run on a WM 6.5 WVGA device using the emulators provided by Microsoft.
Based on my testing this likely has something to do with the Sense UI. I had no problems on the emulator with the Date Picker but then it uses the standard WM UI. So far I've not had any luck finding any development details on HTC's website or any special emulators from them. I actually came to this forum today to see if there was any information on developing for the Sense UI or if any other developers were having problems, as well as to see if a ROM was available that will work in the Emulator. I will search for those things so we can try to do some additional testing.
I am curious, since we don't have an HD2 here, if there is any setting to exclude certain applications from using the Sense UI. I know when Microsoft first added the ability to have larger screen resolutions there was a setting where you could tell the OS not to use that for certain applications that didn't yet support that.
Regards,
David Devaney, Jr.

No, it doesn't look like there's any way to disable the large date pickers. There are a couple of places in Inesoft Cash Organizer where dates are not directly enterable, and no-one has found any way to make the standard WM dialogs appear yet. In the case of Cash Organizer you can see the dialog but the value never makes it back to the date field...
I deactivated Sense UI and use the default Today screen with SPB PocketPlus but this issue seems to be because Sense UI is imbedded into the OS for some dialogs.
6.5 Rom that does work with Handbase
Hi to everyone - glad to come across this thread & see I was not the only one experiencing this problem. I have a Touch Pro2 or Rhodium & tried the following Roms - all had the same datepicker issue:
- [ROM][WWE] 24-Dec ● DeepShining v7 ● Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE | Leo 2.01 | WM 21887
- [ROM][24/DEC/09]CELL PRO SERIES[The Cell Evo V2][Cell Pro V9.5]UP NOW & Video Preview (this is a 2.1 ROM)
- [ROM][WWE] 24-Dec ● DeepShining v7 ● Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE | Leo 2.01 | WM 21887
- |STABLE-FAST-PRO|ROM|21885,28014|Josh's New PerfectBlack 1.7-FINAL!|12-26|Sense 2.1| & Test 3 & 4 versions
- [ROM][WWE]|27-12-09|Rhodium_AF|HTC Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE|LEO 2.XX|WM65 21887|ONLINE| (may have been an earlier dated rom)
- Miri WM65 21885 V9.0 Manila 2.5
The only newer ROM (either Sense 2.1 or 2.5) I could find that didn't have this problem was the Miri WM 6.5 21885 :: MANILA 2.1 :: V 7.0. The date picker is normal. With the non-working ROMS I tried every registry font change I could find with no effect.
Hope this information helps a bit.
